The Lisbon classic: shredded salt cod folded through crisp straw potatoes, sweet onion and softly set egg, finished with parsley and black olives.

Method

  1. Rinse the salt off 120 g of dried salt cod and put it in a bowl of cold water in the fridge for 24 hours, changing the water 3 times. It should taste pleasantly salty, not fierce.
  2. Drain the cod and slip it into a small pan of water with the bay leaf, brought to just below a simmer. Poach 4 minutes, lift out and leave until cool enough to handle, then remove skin and bones and pull the flesh into fine hair-like shreds with your fingers. Keep the bay leaf.
  3. Peel 150 g of potato and cut into matchsticks 3 mm thick. Rinse in cold water until it runs clear to wash off the starch, then dry thoroughly in a tea towel — wet potato will not crisp.
